Contents and Topics Covered in Microsoft Exam 70-480: Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 Part 1

At Tekaris, we are currently undergoing recertification for our Microsoft Gold Partner Status. As a part of this, I was collecting topics addressed by possible questions and thought it might be helpful for others.

This post is targeting Javascript aspects of the exam. Future posts will cover different areas.

It definitely helped me to revisit some concepts by identifying required knowledge for that exam and digging into it. To get an overview, I have compiled a list of topics. Some are only listed by name, others have links which you can follow, others are even detailed with a few words.

There are actually two types of Workers defined in the spec: Web Workers and Shared Workers

Use postMessage() to communicate between the parent javascript code and the Worker (works in both directions)

Some things a worker cannot access: DOM, localStorage or sessionStorage. They do have a list of options, though, but I’ll shamelessly refer you to these details on SO for that.

As you can see, there is nothing too fancy covered in this test as far as Javascript is concerned. It’s important to have a general grasp of the language and only sometimes there are details required to answer a question. Generally speaking, I want to highlight two helpful resources here. I have used them for my research and also linked to them for this list.
